Re: raidframe performance question

Yeah, it works much better on the raw device. After 10 minutes, the rate has
remained constant at 100MBytes/sec. And I can even run a second dd on the
other prospective raid member and they _both_ run at 100MByte/sec.

At this rate it will take about 1.5 hours to zero the entirety of both
drives, then I can start reassembling the raidset.

After having zeroed out the entire disks, initializing parity now runs
much faster, and anticipating completion in less than two hours. Then I
can see what the performance looks like with a real load.
